Australian Open tennis 2012

Novak cutting through this draw at express pace. Expected given the draw he's got. First /real/ test in the SF, although a QF with Gasquet could be interesting; Ferrer will be one way traffic as he has no weapons.

Fed v Rafa ..winner v Novak.



These 3 are in another league.


Wonder if Murray can raise his game...... Lendl is in his camp, perhaps he wont be as mentally fragile when it comes to the Slams...
 
Fed destroyed Del Potro. Nadal should beat Berdych later and Murray should overcome Nishikori. That means the top 4 are in the last 4 again :) Federer vs Nadal and Murray vs Djokovic. Good times.

Lendl used to be fragile at Wimbledon, anyone could beat him in the final.

Michael Chang also beat him at the French open once, won't forget that match.
Chang was a dick.

Difference is that Lendl won 8 Grand Slams.

Murray 0.
